This is not a medical reference book, however, it discusses the relationship between addiction and pain. Briefly describes addiction, chronic pain, and emotional pain. Offers idea, resources to not only deal with pain but also with addiction. Although this book covers a cause of addiction, it does not explore the other reasons why people become addicted. It should be viewed as a self help book. In it I briefly discuss my lived experiences and also share 2 cases of other addicts dealing with different pain. I explore in detail substance abuse in pain. It can also be used by counsellors. The book is a result of research and questioning. It offers ideas of treatments and therapies with a warning to seek medical/professional advice if you are having a problem with pain. At some time in everyone's life they will experience pain and I the author having lived experience share that and what I have learned along the way. I am not a medical professional although I do have counselling experience and possess numerous post-graduate qualifications. At present, I am learning to be a volunteer facilitator for SMART Australia, but stress this is not a SMART book or endorsed by this organization.
